Hi JM!

Welcome to HP for Grown Ups, and don't worry - we're all really friendly
and, in some cases, furry.

You asked about the acronyms we use here.  We have a file listing the
meanings (below), which you can access online.  You will have to log in to
our club area first, I think, using yourYahoo ID and password.

m

You will find some other useful files and links on the homepage, under the
Files and Links sections, and you might want to check out the Databases and
Polls as well.  The two files in my sig (signature) at the bottom of the
page are worth reading - one lists our netiquette guidelines and the other
is a Portkey to our sister groups and other adult HP resources.

Um, talking of acronyms - what are the names behind  JM, if you don't mind
me asking?

Neil
